Shameless Plug! My contest entry animation "Hyperquench" uses masking several times to create Howard's "open skull" effect.

1. The top of Howard's head is actually a duplicate of Howard's complete head, but with everything but the skull cap masked.2. The brain is masked so that it can move up and down within the skull.3. The top of the skull is a mask effect so that the brain can move "inside" the ring of the skull bone.
